All week I have used the "resting my ankle" excuse for not moving off the sofa! Last night I dragged myself to Pilate's and had a good stretch and although it was hard work I enjoyed it! Today has been a glorious sunny day and when I got home from work I fleetingly thought about running ... but it soon passed!
Isn't it funny when I couldn't run all I could think about is running and became quite severely depressed about the fact I couldn't run... now I can run I have no motivation and all I want to do is drink coffee and eat biscuits!
Anyhow by 5 O' Clock I started to feel guilty for missing such a wonderful opportunity to run in the sun (and for devouring half a packet of chocolate digestives) and told myself to get a grip and get out there!
Before I could change my mind I was in my running gear and heading out the door.
Once the incredibly hard first mile was done I started to enjoy being out running and managed 5.62 miles in 54 minutes - the route can be seen here.
I feel fantastic for forcing myself to go! I will get back to being a runner! My ankle didn't bother me at all whilst running and fingers crossed it won't bother me later either!
I have a glass of wine and ice as my reward!
Well I have a glass of wine down my throat and ice on my foot - in my opinion its a crime to dilute wine with ice!
Here's to my next run on Sunday!
Only 26 weeks to go until my next Marathon!
